Dear Wil,
I wanted to take a minute and thank you for coming out to RinCon this past weekend. My children had a lot of fun because of it and they have not stopped talking about getting to play Rock Band with Wil Wheaton.
At first they were only semi-interested in coming with me, and gave me a blank look when I said you played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek TNG. However, when I told them you were one of the voices in Batman, their eyes lit up and then they were excited.
Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to personally play in any of your events because of other duties. I hope that next year, or perhaps at another convention, I will get the chance to do so.
Again, thank you. You have helped solidify the interest of three of the next generation of gamers... pun intended.
Sincerely,
Dawn Andrews-Lynn
